Ridgeview Elementary School

The principal does not care about the students like she should. The teachers are no where as attentive as they were when the old principal was there. The new principal has made a prison of that school..... and it is not clean...

This school has been part of our family since I attended in 85-91 and my sister in 96-2002. Now my son and daughter go there. We love this school. The terachers and staff are wonderful and seem to truly care about the kids and the school.

I think that anyone who thinks this school has gone down because of the new principal should look in the mirror. I have seen great things out of this schools teachers and staff but what I dont see is the parents being involved as they should be. There are several mothers that I see giving a lot of their time to make Ridgeview a better place and they are active with the children during school events. If more parents would give their time and support the school instead of taking cheap shots at the teachers and staff we would be an 'A' rated school in no time. I think the new Principal is doing a wonderful and I will continue to support 100 percent, keep up the good work my daughter loves her school and so do I. Signed a concerned father.

Ridgeview Elementary is a wonderful school. The teachers really seem to care for all the children. Even after my child goes to the next grade her previous teachers still take an active interest in how she is doing. The principal and assitant principal are waiting every morning with a smile to greet the children as they arrive. My child can't wait to get to school in the mornings. Even though our school has dropped in grade our principal and teachers are doing everything they can to bring our grade back up. Our teachers are trying new approaches to teaching and everyone is up beat. This is a great place for children!

This school has went down a grade every year since our new principal arrived. She has made our appearance cold and sterile. This is our last year here unless she sees the light.

I love this school. My daughter is on her 3rd year and it was a great transition from homeschool. My only problem is the lack of communication with extracurricular activities (date changes, time changes, etc.) and award ceremonies.

Good School. My daugheter is only in kindergarten, but I love this school. All the teachers seem to really care for their students. It is always clean and organized as well.

Overall, this is a good school. The class size is around 15 for my child's class. The only problem that I have with the school is that they don't enforce not teasing children. I have had to repeatedly talk to my other's child's teacher about this and she told me, 'kids will be kids.' Also, the staff can be very impersonable at times. But as far as academics, this school is alright.

Ridgeview Elementary is amazing! We relocated from Virginia and had children at the school going on 2 years now. Not only is the upkeep of the grounds immaculate, but the staff has never been anything but willing to help and encouraging. We will be moving to a new house soon and will be selecting our residence with the school district in mind FIRST! We love this school and won't leave until both our children are through sixth grade!

I think that Ridgeview is a very good school and they encourage parental involvement.
